Smell, taste, touch senses in dreams?

While dreaming, most people have their sight and hearing. But there are people including myself that have had experiences where we can use other senses as well. I'm curious about this with other people, have you ever pinched yourself in a dream, and felt it? Dived into a lake or something and felt the pressure of the water against you? A breeze or warmth of sunlight? Fire burns? Sickness? Textures? Have you ever been able to taste food or smell scents? And have you ever, felt, tasted or smelled something in a dream that you never have in the real world? Something completely new?


For me, I have felt the wind against me, eaten food and tasted the sugar, felt physical sensations and especially, unfortunately, pain.

What about you? And do you have any ideas about how this is possible?
